e-SENS - paving the way to the ‘live’ phase of cross-border digital public services.

e-SENS, the pan-European project to strengthen the EU digital single market and facilitate public services across borders, ended on 31 March 2017.

The project was launched in 2013 by the European Commission and involved over 100 public and private actors from 22 countries. Its job has been to consolidate and solidify the work done in previous Large Scale Pilots, providing generic IT solutions for cross-border communication which can be applied to any policy domain.

During its four years of operation, e-SENS succeeded in creating a pan-European set of IT building blocks for digital public services that embrace both national and sectorial diversity and facilitate interoperability.
